AN ICONIC DESIGN WITH CONTEMPORARY COMFORT. First released in 1972, the adidas SL72 OG shoes have a lightweight build that revolutionized running. Today, the breathable nylon upper, suede overlays and leather accents bring retro-inspired style to your active life. An Ecotex tongue adds texture, and the EVA midsole keeps you comfortable on the go. The classic low-profile cut and rubber outsole deliver the final touches.
